The Importance of MFG Day
Celebrated nationally on the first Friday in October each year, MFG Day (Manufacturing Day) helps show the reality and future of modern manufacturing careers by encouraging thousands of companies and educational institutions around the nation to open their doors to students, educators, parents, caregivers and community leaders.
